The Radio Le Mans boys are commentating from the UK on a couple of second delay. They've also been broadcasting the whole 24hr between 3 of them, give them a break! I would be spouting balls too if i hadnt got my forty winks.

That was fun. Congrats to the #01, #24 and #16 for the win, and the #10, #60 for that awesome lead battle one hour from the finish. Also nice GT race. G'rest to the dudes and dudettes who staid up watching the race. See ya.

Give them a break dude. They've been going for nearly 24 hours just commentating and probably been up a lot longer doing the prep. I don't mind as their overall knowledge and passion is on the money.

Calm down dear...I like Hindy and all the RLM team fine but the commentary was utter shite to the point of hilarity.EG: OH OH LOOK, THE GT LEADER, SPIN SPIN HE"S THROWN IT AWAY..oh no, its a victory doughnut.

The main problem was that they weren't on location, the main commentary team is in the UK (the deal came together too late to allow the full RLM team to do commentary on-site), they only had a couple of reporters at Daytona in the press room.

Case in point;

Shame they blabbed over Varsha and crew for the whole broadcast.Jp

Dont worry people, Motors TV seemly missed a DP1 lead pass while it was on screen, it was hilarous to see them go on about «Hmmm, I think that was a lead pass...», aparently the blame here as not Bob but live timming.

Even as a big fan of RLM it is not hard for me to admit that it was one of their weakest commentaries to date... I mean it was okay considering everything and all of the issues but at times it felt like I was listening to Carlton Kirby, Marc Cole and Chris Parsons Hindy 's usually great but was making weird judgement calls throughout, Bradley was out of his league (never really liked him) and Trussers... you know I've always admired his enthuasism and the way he keeps up with the race, but IMO his commentary also gets very tiring after a whilr. We really don't need to be reminded about the live timing changes and pit stop situation every 15 seconds

Hindy + Daman were fine during night though. And the interviews with Gavin, Davidson etc were obviously great

Bob Varsha was a tad rusty on SPEED just as I expected (he'll come around though) but the other guys did fine job.

I listened to the MRN team for a couple of hours when SPEED switched to online streaming only overnight.
Apart from the lack of on-track sound, they were enjoyable. I also switched to RLM in the morning, but found myself hunting for the SPEED commentary streams after a while. I admire their passion, but too many inaccuracies, missing a lot of what was being shown on-screen, and had a very "pub darts" vibe to it.
They have a loyal following though. I'm glad their fans stuck up for them when the announcement was made they wouldn't be covering the race.

Yeah I think it was, you couldn't see practically anything (even when the sun came up). However they could've restarted it a lot earlier. 1h45min was a bit overkill

It cleared up for a brief while after about an hour but then it settled again. I suspect the prolonging at the end was the classic problem with cautions in American endurance racing, the whole field diving for the pits and then having to be reorganized behind the SC before the restart.

Had they won the category there would've been no penalties, whatever the infringement... as seen by the illegal GT win of last year NASCAR won't change the results if it means different winner, but gladly does it when anyone else is in question.
